What to Wear: while exercising (or something like that)

You-all know me, and you know when it comes to this blog, I like to be honest. So, rather than lying to you guys and putting on an outfit I would wear while at the gym—a place where I wouldn't be caught dead—Ian and I had a little fun with this photoshoot. After another LONG day at the office and a delicious dinner, enjoyed while watching the latest Game of Thrones, I threw on a goofy, eighties-inspired workout outfit and we started shooting. And if you ask me, the photo we came up with is gold. (As always, huge thanks to Ian for the amazing lighting and photography skills.)

My apologies if you were expecting me to take this one seriously. It just couldn't be done. Now, that's not to say that I never exercise. But, the truth is, since taking over my new position, I haven't done much more than go for a walk or a 30 minute run around town. I'm just far too beat. That will change soon, though. I'll get settled in and I'll be able to return to a semi-normal routine. Plus, the weather is warming up and the snow is melting, so it will be no time before I'm out on the trails again!

That's it for me, folks. If you want to see some REAL workout gear, you should check out what the other What to Wearers put together. They'll all be making their way over here soon to link up their outfits.

If you'd like to join, feel free to snap some photos of your go-to exercise gear and link up. If you can't make it this time, but you want to join the party in the future, we'll be back on May 2 with What to Wear: for a casual coffee date. Be sure to join us!

Oh I love that you took this approach :-) I felt obligated to participate in this one because I've been solid on most of the others, but if I'm being honest, my exercise is wherever I'm biking to, so my exercise outfit is a bike-friendly normal-clothes outfit.

argh...i can't believe I missed this one. I'm so lame. I'm actually a personal trainer...you would think I could muster up the energy to take one photo in some workout clothes. Your photo is hilarious! I think your awesome photo shoot has inspired me to participate again next time.
